Aircraft for e.g. transporting person, has gear box including front landing gear with wheels that are arranged on both sides of strut, where box has upper panel with hollow forms that cover wheels when landing gear is in raised position

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The aircraft has a landing gear box including a front landing gear (24) provided with a set of wheels (36) that is arranged on both sides of a T-shaped gear strut (32). The box has an upper panel (50) with hollow forms (F) that cover the wheels when the landing gear is in raised position, where the panel serves as a floor pan. The gear has an articulation unit that is in the form of pivot or ball connection, for ensuring a rotation between parts or elements connected by the unit. The unit is actuated by an actuator i.e. electric/hydraulic jack. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Aircraft for transporting freight and person. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The hollow forms of the upper panel of the gear box cover the wheels when the landing gear is in raised position, thus reducing height of the landing gear except at the level of forms, and hence ensuring better integration of the gear to a fuselage of the aircraft during flight. The hollow forms improve aerodynamic properties of the aircraft. The configuration of the aircraft consumes less fuel during flight. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a sectional view of a configuration of an inclination of a set of wheels of a raised landing gear.
